Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 Review

Note: We've used European (EOS 100D) and North American (Rebel SL1) versions of this camera. Most of the product photos are of the 100D version, but we'll refer to the camera primarily as the Rebel SL throughout this review. There are no functional differences.

Canon has long hinted that another path to competing with mirrorless entries from Nikon, Sony, Olympus and Panasonic lay in the miniaturization of its familiar SLR design. With the announcement of the EOS 100D / Rebel SL1, Canon has laid its cards on the table. Billed as 'the world's smallest, lightest APS-C DSLR', the Rebel SL1 unabashedly merges the Rebel-series' DSLR operational hallmarks with an impressively small body.

Thanks to a downsizing of internal components that has resulted in a smaller shutter mechanism, thinner sensor module and smaller-footprint circuit board, the Rebel SL1 is significantly smaller and lighter than the co-announced Rebel T5i, while offering the same 18MP resolution, DIGIC 5 processor and, presumably image quality. The Rebel SL1 is, in fact, comfortably the smallest DSLR we've yet seen, and not so far off 'SLR-style' mirrorless models such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5.

As attention-grabbing as the Rebel SL1's small footprint undoubtedly is, what's equally impressive is that Canon has been able to retain most of the controls and features typically found on a Rebel-series camera. A front dial and dedicated ISO, exposure compensation and AF/AE lock buttons are among the controls that will be familiar to any Canon DSLR user. Its touchscreen is identical in resolution to that on the Rebel T4i and T5i, but is fixed, rather than articulated.

The Rebel SL1 introduces version two of Canon's Hybrid CMOS AF system, originally seen in the Rebel T4i. While Canon is making no claims about focus speed improvements of its hybrid phase/contrast detect system, the new version covers a significantly greater portion of the live view area (80% of the area). This should make it a significantly more useful option than the version found on the EOS M and T4i.

Compared to the Canon EOS Rebel 700D / T5i

However, the Rebel SL1 retains the majority of the external controls found on the larger camera. Although both cameras feature the same rear touchscreen, the Rebel SL1's screen is fixed, not articulated.

The top-plate controls are essentially the same too, but the Rebel SL1 only has space for a mono microphone on the top left shoulder. The offset shutter button may look odd, but works well.

The Rebel SL1 achieves its notable size reduction without sacrificing much in the way of external control compared to the Rebel T5i. On the SL1 the button at the center of the 4-way controller does double-duty as both the Q menu and Set button, and the surrounding buttons have lost their dedicated functions. The SL1 has a lower capacity flash, with a guide number of 9m (versus 13mm on the 650D) and houses a mono versus stereo microphone, though it does retain a stereo mic input. And while the handgrip is not as deep as the one on its larger sibling, the SL1 still provides a distinctly DSLR handling experience.

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens

Introduced alongside the EOS Rebel SL1 was the EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. This is the standard kit zoom for the SL1 and brings the total number of EF-S STM lenses to three, with a 40mm pancake and 18-135mm (both shown below) also on offer. Canon's STM lenses are designed to take full advantage of the Hybrid AF system found in the Rebel T4i, T5i and SL1. They offer quiet autofocus, helpful when shooting video, and full time manual focus. The 18-55mm lens has a close focusing distance of 0.25m and a circular seven-bladed aperture. An internal focusing motor means the lens does not extend while turning the focus ring.

The Rebel SL1's Hybrid AF II system is designed to work optimally with Canon's three-lens STM lineup which consists of an 18-55mm, 18-135mm and fixed 40mm pancake lens.

Compared to the previous EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens, the STM version is slightly longer to accommodate the internal focus system, and has a 'proper' manual focus ring at the front of the barrel that drive the focus group electronically. As with the older design it's physically shortest in the middle of its zoom range, and extends on zooming either to 18mm or 55mm (click here for a comparison at 55mm).

The STM focus motor is extremely quiet and, when using the optical viewfinder, impressively fast, offering a noticeable improvement over its predecessor. But switch the camera to live view and, just like the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, it slows down significantly. This is unfortunate - Canon's live view AF system still distinctly lags behind the competition.

The filter thread on the STM lens remains 58mm. The inner-focus design means it doesn't rotate on autofocus, and allows the use of an optional EW-63C petal-type lens hood (rather than the relatively ineffective bowl-type hood of its predecessor).

As we'd expect at this level, the lens mount is plastic. This is an EF-S lens, so only fits on Canon's APS-C cameras.

Deciding to buy between a 100D SL1 or 700D, both are available options. Not entirely a beginner. have been using a 450D before, but deciding on better entry level. Anyone to advise me correctly. Thank you.

Unless you have budget constraints, better go for the 750d. The AF and low light is a big step, even from the 700d. I know because I came from the 400d. And used a 550d and the improvements were marginal in terms of IQ. I got my nephew a 750d last year and it was an eye opener.

Of course, the 800d will be a bigger step up because now it has that OSPDAF and using digic 7, it is slightly better in low light (vs 750d) and better definitely better WB and metering vs your 450d. My position is this - since the 750d, the improvements were significant. Now, if you can get the latest, the 800d, better go for that. I think we are a bit similar. We don't upgrade every year or every 3 years. FYI, I still have my 20d and sold my 400d just a year ago. I got a used 5d2 instead of the 800d though.

It is rumored that the SL2 will be announced the end of the month. Better wait for that just so that you won't have buyer's remorse. But really, unless size is an

I bought one and only kept it a few weeks. For a DSLR, it was light for sure, but for the pictures the kit lens gave me were only OK. I ended up returning it for a cheaper Sony HX60V and find the pictures are as good or better. I would've liked to have tried the SL1 with a lens other than the 18-55, but I wasn't interested in building a collection until I found a camera that ticked all the boxes for the body part first.

I'm going to wait until the T6s is a bit cheaper in a year until I jump back into DSLR's. I need something with a bit more internals and a folding screen.

I had the 100D for about 6 months. It's a great travel camera, as well as a backup due to its light weight,rugged build, quiet shutter and small size. However, I found the hand grip to be too shallow. When using with the kit or light lenses, it's easy to accidentally shake the camera when snapping the shutter. With heavier lenses, the weight balancing is off, and the camera becomes front heavy.

As much as I liked the 100D, I ultimately sold it off and got a Sony A6000 instead. It's smaller, but has a deeper hand grip and can go with 3 lenses in one tiny bag,s so it's more portable without sacrificing image quality. The 100D is small, but Canon lenses generally aren't.

I still kept a Canon 650D (then upgraded to the 70D). I do miss the 100D at times though. I hope if a successor is underway, they learn from the 70D's excellent design. Despite being much bigger and heavier, it's very well balanced even with heavy lenses, and doesn't need a battery grip when shooting extended periods.

I am seriously looking at upgrading from my 400D to a 100D.An important consideration for me is the ability to focus well in low light condition.I understand 6D is the best for low light focusing but am not ready to upgrade to full frame yet as it would mean further investment on lenses.Can someone tell me if the low light focusing for 100D is much better than the 400D?Thanks

I don't have a direct comparison, but I owned the 100D briefly for about 6 months before selling it off, and have used it to shoot stage performances. It's definitely pretty good for low light, so long as you use the center point.

I bought it a year ago with a 40mm 2.8 and a Sigma macrozoom 17-70 as I have been travelling a lot and I wanted light gear. With the 40mm is a dream to use for people in the run like me, its small, extremely light for an SLR and auto focusing very sharp and quick. Its as relyable as any other pro Canon SLR (I have also a FF 6D) I would recomend it to any travelling enthusiast or beginner.

I bought this camera 3 weeks ago. I just downloaded my last 3 weeks of shooting, 2400 images, and nothing was sharp. I have been a Canon user professionally for years and I have never seen such poor images produced from a camera; the images at times look like the old 110mm camera images. Even in bright sun, high shutter speed and f stop, at wide angle the images are soft. I bought this as a "fun" camera, the size seemed right, it is an absolute disaster. Right now I feel ill for all the images lost. They are soft, the color is desaturated, the exposure is all over the place. If a camera cannot shoot a sharp image in wide angle at infinity there is a serious problem. I am going to try to return the camera as it is completely not useable. Perhaps I got the "lemon" but the images it produced are just gut-wrenchingly bad.

I experienced the same feeling as you. The images do not seem accurate. However, the dpreview test bench shows that the picture quality compares well with other cameras. If the SL1 is not accurate, none are!

My question for you is, Do you have found the answer to this riddle? Does your opignon has evolved since then?

hmmm...(scratching head). You didn't test the camera out before shooting 2400 images? You just kept firing away without even checking the image output quality and that the camera/lens was functioning properly? You shot 3 weeks of travel photos without throwing the images onto a laptop or ipad and checking to make sure you were "getting the shot"?

I guess I'm just having a hard time figuring this out especially in light of this comment: " Canon user professionally for years".

On top of that, myself and hundreds of other SL1 users who participate in online photo forums have none of these complaints-UNLESS they have received a defective camera or lens.

I know this is four months late but I'm posting this to balance these comments out for anyone who happens to read the above "review".

Bottom line-assuming you are using a properly functioning unit it's hard to beat the SL1 for it's "bang for the buck" factor.

Hi Pender, now that you have had the SL1 for awhile would you tell me what went wrong the 2400 shots out of focus.I recently bought an SL1 and having problems with focus at times bang on and then many out of focus can't figure it out.I'm not new at this.

That's the setting the SL1 likes best. Although you can use AI Servo (I've shot indoor soccer with no problem and a very decent hit rate using the center focus point). This is a very basic AF system-not a 70D or a 7D...

If you use the "other" focus points you lose the cross-type sensors...

MongrelFirst let me thank you for replying on behalf of Pender.On the camera I set up for AF operation One shot however if I shoot A1 I go to A1 FOCUS..have I got this right?How about metering mode I had it on Evaluative metering is that OK?I took a number of shots although they varied in sharpness the better ones were shot on A1 Focus and on Manual Focus.

Hi Sammy. Best advice I can give is to forget your camera even has an "AI Focus" setting. Stick to either ONE SHOT or AI SERVO. Use ONE SHOT for still subjects and AI SERVO for moving subjects.

Center focus point is most accurate, but others will work-but try to stick to center focus point for moving subjects.

Evaluative metering will be "fine" but may not not be the BEST in every situation. If you are learning practice using all the metering modes until you have a handle on what results they will get you.

Also-if you want to make sure your camera or lens is functioning properly, a quick test would be to use the "mode" settings (portrait, landscape, sports, etc.) and shoot some simple well-lit subjects. Then check your results. Any glaring issues under these circumstances would be one indicator that you have a camera or lens issue because it will rule out photographer error.

Hi Mongrel, many thanks again for your help, I will try all of your suggestions. Have a look at some of the better shots so far. If I could duplicate these each time I shoot I would be pleased with the SL1

Hi Tony,I have now arrived at the next step, just downloaded my first raw shots from the camera and made the corrections, now I will go from there.Without your help and encouragement I would never have gotten started let alone getting this far.Thank you again and may you also have a wonderful Easter.Hank

I thought it was either my imagination or my new EOS SL1 was defective. I could've sworn my previous three Canon SLR's had better sharpness than the SL1. You can really see the lack of sharpness when enlarging the photos. I don't know what is the problem. Is it a design flaw? I read here that I am not the only one observing the lack of photo sharpness and the softness of the photos. But the video function is great. I think it even matches the high-priced vidcams. That said, buy an Omni-directional mike for better sound recording. I don't know if the SL1 can be corrected for the picture softness and lack of sharpness. Jeff

I've had my SL1 just a couple weeks, and I'm having a ball with it! I have four lenses 40 pancake, new 10 18 and kit lenses 18 55 and 55 250. I've been a Nikon user for over 25 years, and decided its time for something lightweight? After looking at many types and brands, I decided on the SL1, I'm still sorting out the menu system and getting used to the touch screen, but since buying this camera my Nikons have stayed in their bags??I'm not a video fan so no matter, and its useful up to ISO3200 with no complaints, now thats looking on monitor I don't print, but I'm starting to ues the Rebel, for all my photo uses, and so lightweight, Canon! where have you been for so long!!

I just bought this camera, but somethings wrong. I can't record video in 1280x720 and 1920x1080 size for a long duration, just 10 seconds what the?? Only 640x480 size can record for 30 minutes. Why? I just see all the setting nothing to change it.

ISO 100 good pictureISO 400 starting to get grain but acceptableISO 800 too much grain, need photoshop to smooth outISO 1600 picture too grainy to look at, do not use anything near 1600and it goes up to 25600, that's a joke...

My son would like to purchase his first SLR camera. He is considering either the Canon EOS Rebel T3 or the Canon EOS Rebel SL1. He will be using this primarily for family, travel and sporting pictures. Do you have a recommendation of one of these vs the other. What would be the preference, please. and why.Thank you,

My wife and I just bought the SL1 and love it. It is also our first SLR and I have no complaints whatsoever. It takes wonderful photos and is small enough to tote around when traveling. Our primary uses are travel and family pictures. We have two small children who never stop moving and which makes it hard to get clear photos. So far, we have accumulated lots "frame-worthy" photos using the SL1. We made sure to buy a couple of lenses though as the standard kit lens is good but not a catch all. We bought the 40mm f/1.8 II lens for portraits and the 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II telephoto lens as well. We are very happy with the purchase and the results. My brother-in-law and close friend are professional photographers, then both highly recommended the camera as a first SLR. It has some creative features and is very easy to learn how to use. I may not be the greatest resource as a first time SLR owner, but I've had a great time with this camera and have not been able to put it down.

I have a canon EOS rebel SL1 and I have a photoshop cs5. Whenever I try to open RAW File it says its not compatible and its really annoying because cs5 is not even that old. I wonder if there's any way for me to be able to open the RAW file in the version of the photoshop I have.

I just bought one because I want something a lot smaller than my 5Dlll to take to theme parks with my grandchildren or anytime I want less weight. I wanted a DSLR, since that is what I am used to. It certainly isn't a 5Dlll, but it is a very capable little camera. It is so light & small that it will be no problem when I want to travel light.

Canon was able to make to body smaller but the lens is actually bigger, on the other side probably the greatest competitor Nikon D3300 is slightly bigger but still slightly smaller than Canon 700D and the new Nikon kit lens is collapsible, Nikon claims, the new D3300 is 30% smaller and 25% lighter body and lens combination compared with the D3200, so I assume the kit lens combo is smaller than Canon 100D....

It's annoying how cameras and cars are often lacking a price tag ("too low to display"). Yes, I realize the manufacturer is causing this. So annoying. Some sites have you sign in and put it in your cart before knowing the price. This is a ridiculous practice that needs to end yesterday.

Hi,I hope you can assist, as I am having difficulty finding this information elsewhere. I am looking at purchasing a non-canon flash for my rebel sl1/100D, as the canon flashes are rather pricey for my budget. I see that you state the internal flash does not accommodate a wireless flash, yet canon makes one for this camera. I am looking at a Yongnuo YN-560 III Wireless Flash Speedlite on Ebay.

Hi Diane. The reviewer was referring to the ability to trigger "off camera" speedlights using the built-in flash (wireless) not that wireless flash units themselves wouldn't work with the camera. The Yongnuo flash you are looking at will work with this camera. I would encourage you to investigate working with the flash OFF the camera as much as possible though. I have the Yongnuo RF-603 C1 2.4GHz Wireless Flash Trigger/Wireless Shutter Release Transceiver Kit for Canon Rebel for this purpose. You can get it for about $30 on Amazon or eBay. It has worked great for me so far (1 year).

Hi, My Q is simple: Doe's the SL1 is compatible with the Canon EF 28-135mmf/3.5-5.6 IS USM lense ? Most times I need a swift focus, less on the video's. Wonder if it would be comfortable to handle with this lense? Thanks in advance.I

Does the SL1 use the non-STM line of Canon APS-C lenses? I shoot with a 7D and have several very expensive Canon "L" USM lenses, and I'm not going to buy a Canon camera that requires I buy another set of glass.

Hi, I just borrowed mt friends' sl1, but I can't open the raw files in my version of dpp, which came with my old 1000d. It also won't open in photoshop. So annoying. She said it didn't come with any editing software. Is that right? Which version of dpp do I need?Thanks!

I own a T3i, and I like the SL1/100D a little better, primarily for the Hybrid AF II, the quieter shutter sound, and the extreme portability, especially with the 40mm STM lens. You'll probably be happy with either, though.

Yes. If you live in the UK and purchase a "Rebel SL1" (the American version) then you won't be entitled to cash back. I think it also has implications on the warranty/repairs. If you live in the UK then buying the UK version (100D) is your best bet.

This looks like a great camera but I have Canon EOS Rebel T31 and absolutely love it. Alright, call me old fashion or old school but all those attachments associated with digital cameras scare me to death so a neighbor recommended the Canon EOS Rebel T3i as a good choice for a beginner photographer like me. There are so many brands and types of digital cameras in the market today that it is stressful for me to even think about buying one.I did buy the Canon EOS Rebel T3i http://www.squidoo.com/canon-eos-canon-eos-rebel-t3i-camera-review-best-price but not without a lot of stress.

Soo Tell Me W/ The T3i., Did You Experience Alot Of The Lagging IN The Video Recording As Stated In The Review!? How Is Video Recording Overall W/ Your T3i... Im Trying To Compare The SL1 W/ Your T3i Before Purchase...

This camera really is tiny. Compared to Sony's a230, which was the smallest of its time, it is about the same size, but he SL1 can shoot 4fps compared to 2.5, and has a much bigger buffer, and has 18mp instead of 10.2, and has a touhscreen, etc.

40mm 2.8 STM is a full frame lens and it become 64mm equivalent if we use it with EOS 100D. So you really cant use for street photography. It is really perplexing to me why Canon is not making any pancake lens for EFS, like M22mm F2 (equvalent to 35mm full frame) they made for EOS M. They can easily modify that lens to be used with 100D. The combined small form factor with any 24, 28 or 35mm equivalen pancake lens EFS will be a big selling boost for 100D and other Canon APC SLRs.

I strongly agree. I hold off buying SL1 because the 40mm pancake lens is just not very useful. I'd use SL1 with my wideroom lens but would like to take advantage of the small body with a small but good quality lens. A 24mm pancake would be ideal.

Multi Shot Noise Reduction sounds great, but even after setting the Quality to Large JPEG, that option is still greyed out. How the heck can you use it? Not that I usually shoot JPEG, but I'd be willing to try it out.

The size is quite similar to my sony alpha 55. I was quite deceived when they decided to grow up the 57 and further models. Really don't know why. It's a great positive point in my opinion for this camera...http://camerasize.com/compare/#448,238

I rented one of these in May to take on a short vacation rather than drag my much heavier camera along. I debated renting one of the mirrorless models, but this had just been announced and seemed like an interesting choice. I used it almost entirely with the 40mm pancake lens. It was terrific. Barely noticed it hanging around my neck. I owned an original Digital Rebel way back when - this kit is noticeably smaller and lighter. The touch screen really helps when you're used to a camera with lots of dedicated buttons.

Hi Yonsarh, I've been thinking the same! Back to film....But I don't think this will happen. The camera companies have spent so much in digital photgraphy. Even the "super-cameras" like Hasselblad did it. Although you still can buy Hasselblad cameras which use film....So, I don't know. I alwys loved to work in the dark room, developing my own films and print the pics myself. My tool; a Hasselblad EL/M, build in 1973, with a 100 mm Zeiss-lens. Big fun!!!!! We'll wait and see.. :-)

No, in the future, the sensor price will so cheap that it will cost less than a dollar and camera image sensor will be used on everywhere. So we could expect end of digital photography and people will eventuallly come back to film again.

I wonder how it is that the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 has a DPreview Gold Award (an overall score of 78%), whereas the more sophisticated 60D has only managed a Silver Award in your Review (with an overall score of 79%)??!!

>>>>>>Autofocusing with a USM or other lens in either mode is still difficult, however, and fraught with cumbersome seeking during video and long autofocus lag for stills <<<< Does that mean a Sigma 18-->200 zoom, for example??
